Auxiliary heater

WARNINGS:
The parking heater must not be
operated at filling stations, near
sources of combustible vapours or
dust or in enclosed spaces.

The parking heater should be
switched on for approximately 10
minutes at least once a month all
year round. This prevents the water pump
and heater motor from seizing.

Note: The parking heater will only
operate if there is at least 7.5 litres (1.6
gallons) of fuel in the fuel tank and the
ambient temperature is below 15°C
(59°F). The heater will not operate if the
battery is low.

Note: The heating depends on the
outside air temperature.

Note: When the parking heater is
activated, exhaust fumes may come from
under the sides of the vehicle. This is
normal.

Note: On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior
is dependent on the temperature, air
distribution and blower control settings.

The parking heater operates
independently of the vehicle heater by
heating the engine’s coolant circuit. It is
fed from the vehicle fuel tank. You can
also use it while the vehicle is in motion to
help the vehicle heater warm up the
interior more quickly.

Used properly, the parking heater
provides the following benefits:
• It preheats the interior of the vehicle.

• It keeps the windows clear of ice in
the event of frost and prevents
condensation.

To prevent the battery from discharging:
• Once the parking heater has
performed one heating cycle, the next
programmed heating cycle will only
be carried out if you have started the
vehicle’s engine in between.

• After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle
for at least the period of the heating
cycle.

Programming the parking heater

Note: The programmed time is the time
at which you wish the vehicle to be warm
and ready to drive, not the time at which
the heater switches on.

Note: You must programme the times

Program 2 allow you to programme
up to two heating cycles for each day
of the week. These times will remain
stored and the heater will warm up the
vehicle at these times on these days
every week.

• The function One-Time allows you
to programme one heating cycle for
one specific day.
